- New function: Tagging
You now have the option to tag someone in your mark or reply. When typing the '@' a dropdown list appears with the people who follow you and you follow (so both users follow each other). From that list you can select someone to tag. By typing after the '@' you can filter the dropdown list options. The one who is tagged, gets a notification that he is tagged in a mark by you and he will see this mark in his feed
